Eight-foot locusts rampage across Chicago, even the streets with permit parking. A camp perennial in these parts, this 1957 atomic-monster movie was an early success for the entomologically inclined low-budget director Bert I. Gordon (Earth vs. the Spider, Empire of the Ants), whose cheapo special effects consist mostly of insect close-ups used in rear projection and double exposure. With Peter Graves.
